Abstract:
A 50-year-old female patient developed a facial nerve paralysis after a local upper dental block. This complication is known to occur after an inferior dental block but has only sporadically been reported after local anaesthetic procedures in the upper jaw for dental treatment. Some possible pathogenetic mechanisms are discussed.
